And now for a purely gratuitous photo of my squash blossoms. They’re gorgeous and verdant and settling in for the heat of July and August. The first yellow crookneck is almost—ready—to pick!—and then I think summer vegetable fever will officially set in.
I’m sorry if there’s nothing around here for the next month or so but tomatoes and summer squash and shelling beans and cucumbers. Not really, though. Besides, we need to give that little tomato icon in the corner a reason to be here.

Maggie! Yes, I love stuffed and fried squash blossoms. Lately I’ve just been eating them on salads without frying them though—they have such a wonderful, baby-squash taste that I don’t like covering it up. I’m so glad you chimed in; we really need to make it up to the city to visit.
